This multicentre study aimed at investigating prevalence and factors associated with positive patch test reactions to nickel in North\u2010eastern Italy during 1997\u20132023.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross\u2010sectional study design was employed to estimate the yearly prevalence of positive patch test reactions to nickel sulphate 5% among 31\u2009948 consecutive outpatients patch tested with the Triveneto series for suspected allergic contact dermatitis during 1997\u20132023 in four centres of Triveneto (North\u2010Eastern Italy). Reading was performed at 48\u2009h and 72\u2009h\/96\u2009h. Multiple logistic regression separated by sex of patients was employed to investigate factors (birth year, atopic dermatitis, occupational dermatitis, body area affected and occupation) potentially associated with nickel sensitization, expressing the results as adjusted odds ratio (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Prevalence of nickel sensitization was 26.05% during 1997\u20132004 and 26.40% across 1997\u20132023 (excluding Trento\u2010Bolzano\u2010Rovigo), reducing over time in all centers combined. Prevalence of positive reactions significantly increased over the years during 1997\u20132004 among males yet reduced across the entire study period (1997\u20132023) among females. Regardless of the study period, nickel sensitization was significantly lower in males and followed an inverse U\u2010shape with respect to birth year among females, increasing from 35.70% in those born during 1955\u20131964 to 46.24% in females born during 1965\u20131974, reducing to 41.36% in those born during 1975\u20131984. With regard to occupation, a significantly higher prevalence of positive patch test reactions to nickel was observed among sellers, whereas it was lower in retirees and housewives.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although decreasing over time, the prevalence of positive patch test reactions in this study is confirmed to be higher than that in Northern European countries. The latter pattern probably reflects delayed and less stringent application of the European directive. The U\u2010trend of positive patch test reactions by birth year in female patients points to nickel exposure and sensitization in females aged 20\u201350\u2009years before the enforcement of the European directive. Higher prevalence of positive patch test reactions in sellers could reflect prolonged exposure in coin handling occupations, whereas lower prevalence in retirees and housewives may be a result of reduced immune reactivity with increasing age.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.70051","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,10]],"date-time":"2025-12-10T01:24:11Z","timestamp":1765329851000},"page":"259-271","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Sensitization to Nickel (Sulphate 5%) in North\u2010Eastern Italy, 1997\u20132023: Prevalence, Trend Over Time and an Evaluation of the Occupational Risk"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"94","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6285-7355","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luca","family":"Cegolon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical, Surgical and Health Sciences University of Trieste  Trieste Italy"},{"name":"Public Health Unit University Health Agency Guliano\u2010Isontina (ASUGI)  Trieste Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesca Larese","family":"Filon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical, Surgical and Health Sciences University of Trieste  Trieste Italy"},{"name":"Occupational Medicine Unit University Health Agency Guliano\u2010Isontina (ASUGI)  Trieste Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.13704"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.13327"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.14820"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.14837"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.12582"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0536.2011.01957.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.12983"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.12346"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","unstructured":"Eur\u2010Lex \u201cEuropean Parliament & Council Directive 94\/27\/EC \u201daccessed July 14 2025 https:\/\/eur\u2010lex.europa.eu\/eli\/dir\/1994\/27\/oj\/eng."},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0536.2010.01852.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.13450"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bjd.12556"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_14_1","unstructured":"REACH \u201cAnnex XVII: Restrictions on the Manufacture Placing on the Market and Use of Certain Dangerous Substances Mixtures and Articles \u201daccessed October 13 2025 https:\/\/reachonline.eu\/reach\/en\/annex\u2010xvii.html."},{"key":"e_1_2_11_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.12846"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.12113"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/derm.2023.0139"},{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_2_11_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"464","DOI":"10.1089\/derm.2024.0474","article-title":"North American Contact Dermatitis Group Patch Test Results: 2021\u20102022","volume":"36","author":"Houle M.
